School Nurses and Out of Pocket Expenses

Do the school nurses in your children's schools buy supplies with their own money? I have been a PTA treasurer in two schools and our budget routinely includes money ($200 - $300 depending on the school) to reimburse the school nurses for their out of pocket expenses. I always figured that the expenses were for things like stickers or office doo-dads or other items, similar to the expenses we reimburse teachers for some of their out of pocket expenses.
